Is Neutrogena Soap a mild soap?

check out the ingredient list

Is Neutrogena soap a mild soap? It does feel mild, and I used it for years when I was younger, as well as using some of their other products. Jennifer Aniston has catapulted this clear and amber colored soap into stardom by claiming it is part of her beauty regime. Jennifer is reported to say, "I've been using it since High School,' she said. 'I wake up and wash my face with Neutrogena face soap. Then I use a serum and a Dr. Hauschka day cream - that’s it!'

I'd like to know a little more about the serum and Dr. Hauschka's day cream, but in the meanwhile, here is more about this soap from the skindeep.com website:

Ingredients from packaging: TEA-Stearate, Triethanolamine, Sodium Tallowate, Glycerin, Purified Water, Sodium Cocoate, Sodium Ricinoleate, TEA-Oleate, Cocamide DEA, Fragrance, Tocopherol.

Directions from packaging: Wet your face and hands with lukewarm water. Lather soap in hands. Massage lather onto skin with a gentle, circular motion. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry with a soft towel.

Most of these ingredients get the green or orange light from skindeep.com, but there are the three ingredients that rate with warnings or concerns:

FRAGRANCE: 8100% neurotoxicity, Allergies/immunotoxicity, miscellaneous;

COCAMIDE DEA: 661% cancer, allergies/immunotoxicity, organ system toxicity (non-reproductive), irritation (skin, eyes, or lungs), contamination concerns (NITROSAMINES-in the presence of nitrosating agents);

TRIETHANOLAMINE: 657% allergies/immunotoxicity, organ system toxicity (non-reproductive), irritation (skin, eyes, or lungs), contamination concerns (NITROSAMINES-in the presence of nitrosating agents), occupational hazards.

Is Neutrogena soap a mild soap? Personally, I also used this soap as a teenager, and I would still use this soap over any body wash or toxic cleanser, but it is NOT natural. Often people assume clear products to be natural, like that Clearly Natural Soap, which is not.
